“Are you going to give up?”
Not yet my dear, but am getting tired
I will hold on for a while longer
Until I make you a rainbow
And give your soul a lift Compromising everything that stands on my way
So that when I finally give up
You would graciously remember my courage!

For Sally
In a world that is continuously flattened
Frontiers are being more tightened
Opportunities become unequally spread
Earthlings ride on the ray of wheels
Riding to find the end of the rainbow
Greener pastures are found in the otherness
When an earthling is displaced or moves
The flat world turns into a round Earth
Its palms though wide open becomes closed
He or she that moves out sometimes made it
He or she that moves out most times lose out
In the otherness of the other and in our otherness
Humanity must find a common ground
For our Earth is also our World

Mathematics tends to be tick
Although it makes me sick
Even when I study it for a week
Figures do make me weak
Numbers always make me meek
